Re: A TPR One-Year Retrospective -- Thank you for your efforts!

As a Tibetan, I cannot thank you enough for taking the initiative
to start an online journal which allowed Tibetans from all walks of life to
express themselves. [See editorial here] At a time when many of our media personnel had to, unfortunately,
exercise restraint given the mud-slinging that has now become the norm, you displayed
admirable patience and daring in enduring the unfair criticisms thrown your way
– so thank you!

I thank you especially knowing that you all have full-time
jobs; that you were doing this voluntarily; and fully understanding how
difficult it is to see-through-to-the-very-end a responsibility of this
magnitude, particularly given the lack of any tangible rewards. I have always believed
that community service is a journey between hope and discouragement; often
times there are more reasons to be discouraged than to be hopeful -- but
you persevered through it all allowing constructive discussions, and sometimes
even, in your better judgment, the more “unconstructive” ones.
